The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is on the scene of a grisly discovery in Lake Worth.

Deputies found two deceased males inside a home in the 100 block of South Lake Side Drive.

It appears to be a murder/suicide, investigators say. Both men had gunshot wounds.

Several neighbors said that the two young men who lived in the house were in a long-term relationship and that one of them recently asked the other to move out.

The neighbors also said one of them had a gun.

One neighbor who knew them well can't believe it. "It's stunning. If you knew them like I know them, like I said they are so mellow, so laid back, so giving, so caring. I would never, ever imagine," said Dee Weeks.

Investigators have not yet released the identities of the two men.
